City Expands Household Junk Pickup Program to Two Appointments Per Year

Program runs February – October

The City’s Household Junk Pickup Program (formally the Appointment Based Neighborhood Cleanup Program) is taking appointments for the 2014 season. This year, all residential customers can make two appointments – per year – for the free pickup of acceptable bulky items including yard waste. Household Junk Pickup occurs from February through October. The same equipment and personnel used for Leaf Season operate the Household Junk Pickup program.
"We hope that the additional appointment will be helpful to customers as well as useful in discouraging illegal dumping," says Steve Harriman, Integrated Waste General Manager for the Recycling and Solid Waste Division.

To request an appointment, customers can:
• Call 311
• Make an online request at www.sac311.org
• Use the Sac 311 App for iPhone or Android
The City will collect up to five (5) cubic yards of material (4’x4’x9’) per appointment - approximately the amount that will fit into the bed of a pickup truck. Extra charges may apply if load is in excess of five cubic yards. Piles put out more than 24 hours before an appointment or put out without an appointment will be considered illegal dumping and fines may be issued.
Accepted items include yard waste, one (1) appliance, TV’s, computers, e-waste, furniture, mattresses, carpet, toys, and four unmounted tires. A full list of acceptable items and guidelines for the Household Junk Pickup Program can be found at www.sacrecycle.org.

Leaf Pile Guidelines

• Piles should be no more than two cubic yards in size (3'x3'x6' pile).
• Place the pile six feet from any obstruction (cars, boats, basketball hoops etc.)
• Make sure there is space between the curb and pile to allow water to flow to storm drains. Do not place piles in bike lanes.
• Do not put pet waste in any yard waste pile or container. Pet waste goes into the garbage container.
• Piles should not be in plastic bags.
• Christmas Trees will be accepted in piles.
